CONSOLE OPERATION CONTINUED
USING HEART RATE
GRIP PULSE – To periodically check your heart rate, grasp the sensors at the base of the
console. The PULSE LED will flash and after about 9 seconds your pulse will be shown in the
pulse window.
CHEST BELT
–
Using a chest belt (such as a T41 POLAR transmitter), you can monitor your
heart rate at any time during your workout. The heart rate strap will send your heart rate to the
display. The transmitter is more effective if worn on moist skin.
HEART RATE CALCULATION
Before beginning any test, calculate your maximum heart rate. The maximum number of
heartbeats that a person must not exceed is referred to as the maximum heart rate and this
value drops with age. A simple formula to calculate this is to subtract your age, in years, from
the number 220. To ensure that you are exercising correctly, try to keep between 65% and
85% of your maximum heart rate value.
For example, the maximum heart rate that a 30 year old user must not exceed is:
220 – 30 = 190 heart beats per minute (BPM).
190 x 0.65 = 123 heart beats per minute.
190 x 0.85 = 161 heart beats per minute. Do not exceed 85%.
So the heart rate exercise range for a 30 year old is between 123 and 161 BPM.
Stop exercising if your pulse is 85% of your maximum heart rate.
